Choice Scarf, Tapu Fini and Landorus Therian are best answers to Mega Charizard X, which are not released in PBB. I want to move up to A because it definitely works better than other two Dragons, Dragonite and Garchomp. 252 Atk Tyranitar Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Charizard-Mega-X: 306-362 (103 - 121.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Tough Claws Charizard-Mega-X Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 157-186 (46 - 54.5%) -- 54.3% chance to 2HKO

Tyranitar is also a solid counter to mega charizard x before a dragon dance By definition, counter means that a Pokemon is able to switch in and beat the opponent without fearing too much and can win 99% or more of the time. So, it means that Tyranitar still fears Dragon Dance, and also, it can never switch in without fear.

252 Atk Charizard-Mega-X Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 202-238 (50 - 58.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

It is usually hit by Dragon Claw on the turn it switched in, being outspeeded, and then being KOed by Earthquake afterwards. At most, it can only be a soft check that can win only in 1v1 situation.
